UP TO DATE, NATURISTIC MEDICINE

As you know our medical option is a natural medicine understood as one that maximizes the drug output produced by our own body. In this context, using millions of T cells genetically modified to effectively combat various types of cancer, is the closest to our way of thinking. At the University of Pennsylvania were successfully treated 3 patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia with T cells genetically reprogrammed. 2 patients are in complete remission (absence of neoplastic cells in blood and bone marrow), while the remaining one achieved a partial remission. To patients who achieved complete remission were removed thousands of T cells as they circulated through a blood component separator machine, reprogramming them with genes that allow identification of CD19 surface antigen, destroying B cells that carried it.

An alternate method to this, is to use disabled forms of HIV virus -1 to carry genes that will train our immune system to kill cancer cells. AIDS virus is used because it has evolved to invade T cells. To this end, Dr. Carl June(Abramson Cancer Center/University of Pennsylvania), extracted T cells of patients inducing them to multiply (up to one billion T cells), with small magnetic nanobeads. Thereafter, always remained a memory cell population able to proliferate as needed. Reprogrammed T cells produce antigenic chimeric receptors in cells, transforming them in serial killers. All patients received chemotherapy to deplete any remaining native T cells that could prevent the growth of reprogrammed T cells. To compensate for the lack of native T and B cells, the patient received monthly infusions of immune globulin IV. Not everything is rosy, in similar studies, some patients have died apparently from sepsis, lupus-like diseases, high fevers and chills attributable to cytokine release.
